Did someone call you fat?

There are some pretty cruel people out in there in the world that think their funny and pretty clever when they hurl insults at fat people about their weight.

I personally have been called all sorts of names in the past such as;

  • fatty
  • pig
  • lard ass
  • rolly polly

and many other names by total strangers and so called friends who tried to hurt me with their insults. It use to make me feel very sad and depressed until I turned it around and no longer did it bother me in the slightest.

Lets be honest, we are all human and have feelings. Some of use are more susceptible to peoples insults and take it to heart and yet others let insults just roll off like water on a ducks back and don’t give it another thought.

Two examples on overcoming the fat insults when walking away is just not an option.

Example: 1 Some so called friend or stranger calls you fat straight to your face

Response 1: “Oh my god, I’m fat? No? When did this happen? Wow your so smart, thanks for letting me know. After all these years I thought I was a size 0″

Example 2: Cowards yell out at you ‘hey you fat pig’ whilst they drive by

Response 1: “crack up laughing and clap with a big smile on your face”

Response 2: “put your hand up by your ear and make out you didn’t hear them”

Ways To Respond

  • Walk away
  • Use light hearted sarcasm
  • Smile and laugh it off

If you are being abused at work or home with insults, then start standing up for yourself because no one else will. Being in a unsavory environment and having unsavory people around you, is not going to help you achieve your weightloss goal.

Here are some choices you can make to change your work environment;

  1. Report insulter/s appropriately to management (when being insulted and bullied at work)
  2. Go find another job
  3. Start being smart by either using sarcasm or laughing and smiling (walking away obviously hasn’t worked because their still insulting you with fat jokes)

Here are some choices you can make to change your home environment;

  1. Move out
  2. Start standing up for yourself by either using sarcasm or laughing and smiling at them to show what they have just said is ridiculous
  3. End toxic relationships with the so called friend/s and family who are insulting you instead of supporting you
  4. If it’s your house, then kick the person who’s insulting you out.

If you insult the person by calling them names in response to their insults, then you are playing their game. You will feel better and they will feel defeated when you don’t buy into their insulting tactics.

You don’t have to use the tactic of laughing at the fat jokes and agree to hide your true feelings that the jokes have actually hurt your feelings. If you think the joke is truly funny and doesn’t offend you, then laugh to your hearts content.

Judge how you will respond appropriately to the situation as your safety is paramount. Walk away from any violent situation to somewhere safe and get help immediately if you need it. Now go out there and take charge of your own destiny and don’t give other people the power to decide how you are going to feel and how your going to be treated by them.
